Biblical view of divorce and remarriage

Dr. Mike Russell at Eternal Perspectives has begun offering installments of a position paper on divorce and remarriage. The first installment draws to a great extent on David Instone-Brewer’s Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible. Mike's current article looks at the social background of divorce and remarriage in Jesus' day. It's full of useful information on a topic often misunderstood in the church today, when we bother to consider the Bible's teaching on this subject at all. I look forward to the next installment, when Mike will examine the teaching of Jesus.
